Stoney RiverBlack Aquatic Sand Freshwater and Marine Aquariums, 5-Pound Bag

Amazing sand option! Very light, settles fast. Does not cloud the tank. I also purchased another bag in another color and plan to mix together. Looks great even with a short bed height.

Beautiful black sand! I needed a small patch of sand for my assassin snails to burrow into. This is perfect. Almost no dust when I rinsed it. You could probably add it straight to the tank from the bag if you have good filtration, but I'd still advise a quick rinse just to be sure.

Sand requires a settlement of all the material but it looks good when completed

looks good and while I washed it, not sure it needed it as no dust.

Just a rinse then treated water rinse and good to go!

I like the size. The problem is that even after soaking, there are several pieces that float. If you hit them, they usually sink. But I am using this with light colored sand as well. So the floating black sand would sink and get on the light colored sand. Disappointed in this.

very clean and easy to use

I was very happy with this product. I only used 3 bags for my 30 gallon tank, and it looks great! It really didn't cause that much of a mess like I had expected. Only a few granules floated to the top after adding water which were easily removed with a net. It also holds my fake plants in place very well.
